"There is a societal need to diversify our thinking about the future, moving beyond the troubled metaphors of blank slates, open roads and sleek machinery. This collection seeks to broaden and deepen our philosophical understanding of anticipation, helpfully questioning how creativity and imagination can serve to reframe the present."Cynthia Selin, Associate Professor, School for the Future of Innovation in Society/ School of Sustainability/ Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes/ Arizona State University; Associate Fellow, Said Business School/University of Oxford
